Peninsula Rescue Mission is a small, faith-based nonprofit based in Newport News, Virginia, with a long history of serving homeless men since 1966. It provides shelter and a refuge for transient men and operates the Overcomer's Program, a six-to-twelve month pathway designed to help participants transition back into the community after completing the program. The organization is fully donor-supported and relies on a small staff to run its programs. Each July, the mission runs Camp Open Arms, bringing 128 children from economically deprived homes to a week-long camp in rural Surry County, a program funded through donor sponsorship and volunteers, with campers sending thank-you notes to donors. The work centers on ministry to both the homeless population and at-risk children, reflecting the organization's focus on tangible acts of service within the local community.
